I'm planning to add network browsing for krfb in the 3.1 timeframe and network 
authentication after 3.1. This could be used as a base for a classroom tool.

I'm currently working on a protocol extension for RFB (VNC's protocol) that 
will allow the server to transmit the position of the cursor to the client. 
Without the extension this feature would not possible because the VNC client 
does not know the cursor's position. Should be done today or in the next days 
(the protocol extension in krfb and krdc, not the darken-the-screen feature).
